== About Me ==
Applications are welcome from people who are active in the Jabber/XMPP community!


I'm a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. A few years ago I stumbled over an Android app called TalkMyPhone. It took a modified version of Smack to run on Android and basically allowed one to remotely interact with the Android API over XMPP messages. It also would send notifications triggered by certain events on the Android device as XMPP message. The app was later renamed to GTalkSMS for Android 2.2 and I became a main contributor and later developer for it.
To apply, create a wiki page about yourself. If you don't have a wiki account, join the [xmpp:jdev@conference.jabber.org?join jdev chatroom] or send your name, e-mail address, and preferred nickname in CamelCase to one of the [[Sysops]], who will be happy to create an account for you.


At that time, Rene wrote aSmack, a build environment to port Smack to Android. After he lost interested in aSmack, I took over maintaining it and replaced the modified Smack version in GTalkSMS with aSmack. It soon turned out that aSmack was hard to maintain. So I start to modularize the parts of Smack that use Java API that isn't available on Android, so that they can be replaced by others.


I also heavily contributed to Smack and eventually became the maintainer of Smack too.
It is not enough to just add your name! We (the voters) want to know for whom we give a yes or no vote, and we want to know what you have done with Jabber/XMPP technologies and why you want to be a member of the XSF. See recent [[Membership Applications]] for examples.


Now, after years of hard work on Smack (remember I do this in my spare time), Smack 4.1 is able to run on Android and on a standard Java SE runtime. Hurray :)
Please include as much information as possible when applying.


In 2013 I decided to rewrite something like GTalkSMS from scratch using a modular approach. The project is called MAXS aka. the [http://projectmaxs.org Modular Android XMPP Suite.]
The following information is required with each application:


I am one of the authors of [https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0373.html XEP-0373: OpenPGP for XMPP], which hopefully will replace the [https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0027.html#security flawed] predecessor.

* e-mail address
* Company name (however, everyone serves as an individual, not a company representative)


The main item on my agenda is '''Instant Stream Resumption'''.
Note that we need the foregoing information because members may ask you some questions and we need them for our records. Some members ask questions using the discussion page of your application, please visit it from time to time. Your JID and e-mail are '''required''' to contact you upon acceptance!


While there are many things in XMPP land that needs fixing, I believe this is one of the most important ones. I already talked about XMPPs long reconnection time in my [https://archive.fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/xmpp_and_android/attachments/slides/749/export/events/attachments/xmpp_and_android/slides/749/xmpp_and_android.pdf 2015 FOSDEM talk]. To address this I started to work on a solution in 2016. The outcome is [https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/isr-sasl2.html XEP-ISR] and the Internet Draft for the [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-schmaus-kitten-sasl-ht/ Hashed Token SASL mechanism].
